“The best cottage, the best view and one of the best Cornish holidays we have ever had!”

Reviewed 13 August 2017
for a stay in July 2017

I have found my little piece of heaven in Cove Cottage. What a wonderful find! A real home from home .. everything you could possibly need is there. So comfortable and cosy but still having room to spread out if you wanted too. The garden has the most amazing views, changing hour by hour as the boats go to and fro. Spent so many happy hours out there. Lovely walks into Penzance and Mousehole and down to the harbour in Newlyn. We had such a chilled relaxing holiday. Saddest day going home, really did not want to leave, could stay there forever! Hope we can return again and again. Lovely owners, very easy to contact if you need too.

We arrived after a 9 hour journey to find everything exactly as we could have wanted. The kitchen is fully equipped with all utensils, washing machine, drier etc. The garden area is a little sun trap with table and chairs. The garden backs onto a car parking area which is accessed via some steps,then runs into a pebble beach. We caught fish only a matter of meters, If you're brave enough you could swim or SUP almost from the back door.

The cottage itself is a very old stone built building and has beams and low doors (both my husband and son banged their heads, so if you've over 5'6" be careful). There are lots of books, jigsaw puzzles etc available. The fishing harbour is only 2 minutes walk away with another larger stoney beach about another 10 mins, we spent ages just skimming pebbles across the water. Penzance is very close and also within walking distance.

Parking is limited in most Cornish towns and villages but fortunately cove cottage has access to the unmade beach parking.

Both my kids (17 & 14) enjoyed this holiday, the only thing they complained about is that there is no wifi but there is a decent 3G signal.

St Ives is about 8 miles away and lands end about 12, the picturesque village of mousehole is just over a mile so the location is great.

If we decided to stay in this country again, we wouldn't hesitate to come back ( with crash helmets)

We usually go abroad but this was our first time in Cornwall and as soon as we came back from the cottage we booked for the next year, I would gladly live there permanently. Thew cottage has everything you could want and need and we were sorry we couldnt bring more of the family to enjoy it, but they wouldnt fit in the car !!. it is lovely and clean and has a great kitchen and being able to get your washing out in the garden to dry everyday is a godsend. We spent every night in the garden and some days too and even had a barbeque with a disposable one. we loved walking into Newlyn at night for a meal and also walking to mousehole, and visiting neighbouring towns and villages and as the weather was so good we were at the beach most days too. Just dont encourage the cats by feeding them or allowing them into the house. We are so looking forward to returning to the cottage again this summer for some well deserved peace and relaxation, the locals are great too and everyone so friendly, the car can be parked round the back of the property which is good too.
